Quote by Proverb

A spoon does not know the taste of soup, nor a learned fool the taste of wisdom.

A spoon does not know the taste of soup, nor a learned fool

Summary

This quote is suggesting that having knowledge or intelligence does not necessarily equate to understanding and experiencing something fully. Just as a spoon cannot taste the soup it holds, a person who is knowledgeable may not truly comprehend the essence and depth of wisdom. It emphasizes the idea that intellectual capacity alone does not guarantee true understanding, as there is a difference between acquiring knowledge and truly assimilating and appreciating the deeper meaning behind it.

Tamed as it may be, sexuality remains one of the demonic forces in human consciousness -- pushing us at intervals close to taboo and dangerous desires, which range from the impulse to commit sudden arbitrary violence upon another person to the voluptuous yearning for the extinction of one's consciousness, for death itself. Even on the level of simple physical sensation and mood, making love surely resembles having an epileptic fit at least as much as, if not more than, it does eating a meal or conversing with someone.
